And now I have:)Last night it was "girls evening".I was with my daughters and the female cat = 5 girls.We were recycling old cloths - making new blouse out of old one + a pair of socks.... and other rather "glimmering" things:) When you make " girls evening" you HAVE to have something really tempting. Something that gives you water in the mouth, makes your stomach feel very exciting and your face shine like the SUN.This is just one of the "girls evening" law of live.So I made our favorite:

Crowberries are one of the Icelandic "fruits". Well I know it´s a berry but in a land where you have trouble growing apples...... then those little things are like "diamonds" for us "vikings"..... They grow wild all around the country. Those small black berries are filled with and-oxidants, iron, vitamin C - just packed with nutrients. When I was young my parents always went berry picking in august. Always. And today I go with my girls. We make some yummie picnic out of it as well - food always taste better in the nature. It is so precious moments with my girls, having berry blue faces, most of the berries goes to their mouth...... and the smile is black/blue. :)I will share some of our recipes.

I justlove to makefoodfor kids :) or have them making food with me. I have this9 yearsold friend who some times calls and ask if she can come over and help me in the kitchen.She specially loves my high speed blender. She puts all kind of fruitsand nuts+ water and makes the most delicious smoothies.

We went berry picking the other day and when we arrived back home she asked if we could play with the blender and the blueberries. And so we did. We made this delicious blueberries smoothie out of cashews and some freshly picked blueberries. After drinking 2 glasses she was filled :)But there was some smoothie left and that we put in some really handy ice creammolds.

This ice cream is just brilliant as breakfast or as a small meal. My 14 years daughter and her friends just loves those after working out or.......... love and blessing in the kitchen with your kids :)Solla
